Plots:
A reporter stuck in a border town with an overcrowding of refugees sees a man he believes to be a long lost politician.
Alexandre, a TV reporter, is working for a few days in a border town, where a lot of refugees from Albania, Turkey and Kurdistan are packed in. Among them, he notices an old man and thinks he is an important Greek politician who disappeared mysteriously a few years ago. Back in Athens, he asks this politician's former wife to come and identify him. A slow and dry meditation about inhumanity of borders.
Covering the flight of Albanian, Kurdistan, and Iranian refugees into Greece, Alexandre, a Greek journalist from Athens, and his small TV crew, find themselves in a bleak, overcrowded border town. After a chance encounter with a weary, grizzled man, who is the spitting image of a missing Greek politician, Alexandre contacts the wealthy former French wife of the parliamentarian in high hopes of identifying the man. Under those circumstances, the question remains: who is the stranger with the big, doleful eyes?
